Dr. Pimple Popper Pops Out A 'Matzo Ball' Cyst From Her Patient's Forehead.

#1 Dr Pimple Popper has this thing for naming cysts after food items— a lima bean, a gumball, a clove of garlic, onions

…and now we've got what she's dubbed a "healthy Mazza (sic) ball."

Of course, she means "matzo ball," but whatever, she's a dermatologist, not a professional speller.

#2 She also calls it a macadamia nut. Maybe she's just constantly hungry.

#3 An epidermoid cyst (Epidermal Inclusion Cyst, Infundibular cyst) is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face, neck or trunk, but can occur anywhere on the body.

#4 Another name used is “sebaceous cyst” but this is actually an antiquated misnomer, and is not a term used by dermatologists.

#5 They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts.

Epidermoid cysts result from the reproduction of epidermal cells within a confined space of the dermis. The pasty contents are mostly composed of macerated keratin (wet skin cells), which creates this “cheesy” consistency, and there can be a pungent odour.

#6 An epidermoid cyst may have no symptoms and are typically harmless.

Usually, people seek removal because they don’t like the appearance of these bumps, or the cyst has ruptured or been inflamed or “infected” in the past.

#7 Rupture is associated with sudden redness, pain, swelling, and local heat, and can lead to abscess formation.

#8 Also, a history of inflammation often increases scar tissue in the area and makes the cyst more firmly adherent to surrounding skin which makes it more difficult to remove.

#9 Surgical excision is curative but the complete cyst removal including the entire cyst sac and contents need to be removed to ensure that the cyst won’t reoccur.
